Seen this pop up on facebook yesterday and thought I'd share. Looks to be a 100lb electric dirt bike/mountain bike hybrid. Claims a 45mph top speed and 40 mile range for around $3000. I could see this being a good time in the back yard or some urban areas.

Theres definitely some "interesting" specs on the website.
25mph top speed (limited) 45mph speed if limiter removed (not recommended as 45mph is dangerous)
2000 watt hour battery for gigantic range and power
We will ship with the speed limited to 20mph which could be argued is street legal but we do not recommend riding it on the street since street riding is dangerous.
This bike is 50 and even 100cc honda killer.
This electric mini motorcycle is fast, reliable, giant range, and built at a quality that we have never seen before for an EV out of China.
We think this motor can handle easily 12,000 watts with a FOV sine wave controller, and we will be soon be offering that as an upgrade kit.

Use these at our events. It is so much fun to ride.
Check out the X-force pro as well. We had it at Day in the Dirt.

Ultimate stealthy weapon of fun right here folks. Can you imagine sneaking around town, at night, jumping all sorts of cool urban grown structures. " (Click) Honest officer, it only goes 20 mph, wanna try it?

"Not legal in all 50 states" LOL
"We think this motor can handle easily 12,000 watts with a FOV sine wave controller, and we will be soon be offering that as an upgrade kit."
That's 16 Horsepower weighing in at 105 pounds. Not too shabby (if those are real numbers). I would definitely have concerns about the bicycle components standing up to that kind of power.
